Are things rather dull around your way? Tired of the same grey streets? If so, maybe what your town needs is a bookshop retailing the vibrant collection of Progressive Pressbooks. Here is the list of twenty which publisher John Paul Leonard and I gave to the British Library in April 2009; with some links to interesting reviews.

What are these books about? Well, on the day of July 7th, 2005, John Leonard wrote a perceptive article about exactly what had just happened! It included the words:

O lovers of peace and opponents of war: never shall you see an end of calamities instigated by the war party, until the people see through the false flag trick!

After 9/11 he decided to set up a publishing house, for the deeply-changed politics of our new millenium. Here, of possible interest, are poetic definitions he has given, concerning courage and patriotism:

Bilionaire Larry Silverstein re-insured the World Trade Centre complex, after coming into possession of its leasehold six weeks before 9/11. He re-insured it with European companies – for six billion! Then, when the towers crumbled, that same evening, he was on the phone to his lawyers inquiring as to whether he could claim twice – once for each plane impact! The upshot was, he was able to claim somewhat over four billion dollars from the Euro insurance firms. He clearly stated that he had made the decision to ‘pull’ WTC-7, despite which he got the claim.

No-one was more clearly and obviously complicit in that 9/11 event. And yet, nobody in Europe is on record as having objected to paying him four billion. Nobody! But, one person in California decided to do something: Mr John Leonard. He bought a share in one of these big Euro-insurance companies, and was thereby able to argue at a shareholder’s meeting, that they should not pay. On that fateful day, all the WTC buildings owned by Larry Silverstein were demolished – WTC buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 – while all the buildings around them were mysteriously untouched.

Let’s have one last quote by John Leonard – written on the very day!

‘Today, 7/7, saw a classic false-flag attack hit London, a simple set-up by western secret services to distract from the deepening woes of Bush and Blair, and perhaps to create the pretext for the next round of wars on Iran.’
